Have a look at acapella, most musicians I’ve seen on Facebook have been using that.

I have been told the limit is 4 users per video conference/chat - which I do not think is right, so I need to check. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is any documentation about limits on Teams for Office 365 A1 for Faculity/Students - if so can you point them out to me please. Cheers

I have a 2019 setup - opted for Session Hosts over VM Pools as cheaper cost for Licensing. 3 VMs and 2 physical servers VM1 - Gateway, RD Web Access - Install HTML5 so staff and students can use RDP via a web browser and seems to be works well) - 2 CPU, 16GB Ram VM2 - Connection Broker and Licensing - 1 CPU, 8GB Ram VM3 - User Disk Profiles (all profiles saved here - so they get the same profile depending on which Session Host they connect to) - 1 CPU, 8GB Ram 2 Physical Servers as Session Hosts - HP DL360p Gen 8 servers with 384GB Ram in each server Set up 2 weeks ago - took me ages to work out the kinks - as I thought the Connection Broker would have automatically load balanced the Session hosts, ended up using DNS Round Robin for the session hosts. HTML5 front end works really well - just a shame no way of customising to add things like School Logos etc.

Finally managed to sort it - DNS!! Needed to have a the same DNS record point to both session host servers (DNS Round Robin) Now working nicely and no need to the User Disk Profile server

Ok I must be missing something..... I am a VM with Connection Broker, Web App, Licensing and Gateway all on the same VM Server joined to domain as rds-gw.internal.domain.com I have 2 physical servers Sessions hosts as Rds-01 and rds-02.internal.domain.com External address for gateway is rds.domain.com I have a internal dns record rdsfarm.domain.com pointing to IP of VM running broker User groups added to allow list etc and not changed any other setting. Client connects to rdsfarm.domain.com for hostname and rds.domain.com for gateway. Normal user tries to connect and I get an error about user permissions or netbios name being incorrect If I connect as an admin I connect to gateway and not sessions host. Anyone able to tell me where I’ve been stupid?? Might try and splitting VM so Broker and License are on 1 VM and gateway and we app on another VM to see if the works. Cheers

Well I’ve configured everything by 5pm, set a client to use the external address for gateway and pc and it refused to connect. Left it for a while so can look with clearer eyes/head and try and have a look at google.

Setup a 2 VM 1 VM to host Gateway, License Server and Connection Broker (externally accessible on port 443 only - and Port 80 for lets encrypt) 1 VM to host User Disc Profiles (not sure if really needed but will soon find out) 2 physical servers will be Session Host servers Guessing the Connection Broker will load balance the connections etc Hopefully get this things finished later this afternoon or over the weekend.

I have 2 possibly 3 servers to configure for RDS using session hosts - so I can deploy apps via RDS Web Apps or via RDP connection Software (MTSC) for WIndows/Mac etc..... What is the best way to configure these are a RDS farm? I've every deployed a single RDS servers, so I'm a bit stumped! Cheers

Anyone know if you can have Home Access Plus setup in an Round Robin/Load Balancing Config? With possible closures looming, most of our students use HAP for accessing work from Home Drives and Shared Document. To stop the server being overloaded from multiple accesses etc, has does anyone know if you can setup HAP+ to work in a Round Robin/Load Balancing config? Cheers

Took couple of hours to apply to users

@CyBeRkId2002 Sorry - forgot about that issue I had initally Take a look at this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/connect-microsoftteams-not-working/f3235724-ec03-4a9e-9679-40afa89bf956

I've just used the ones they provided, as they seemed to do the job etc. Didn't think about nested groups to be honest as I enabled per year group so I could keep track where I was up to.

Have you assigned the policies to your users? There is a teacher policy and a student policy which has different settings. I posted a powershell script to assigned the relevant policies to users based on AD Groups http://www.edugeek.net/forums/how-do-you-do/213953-teams-policypackage-assignments.html#post1828887

Thanks for the info - works a treat. To save having to have people logged into Net2 and somone going to an external door to tap their badge X number of times to activate the lock down - I was thinking if there was anyway a shortcut of some kind could be created to enable/disbale the Net2 Lockdown? Anyone know if this is possible or done this before? Cheers

Strange question - does Paxton Net2 use a default SQL SA password or have instructions on how to recover/change the SA password? Cheers

Sorted it.... using the wrong powershell command! Here is my script for assigning the Policy Package Education (Teacher) to all teaching staff. $cred = Get-Credential "[email protected]" Connect-AzureAD -Credential $cred Connect-MicrosoftTeams -Credential $cred #Change Teaching Staff to your selected AD Group $group = Get-AzureADGroup -SearchString "Teaching Staff" $members = Get-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId $group.ObjectId -All $true | Where-Object {$_.ObjectType -eq "User"} #Name : Education_Teacher #Description : This is an Education_Teacher package # #Name : Education_SecondaryStudent #Description : This is an Education_SecondaryStudent package #Change the PackageName to your chosen package $members | ForEach-Object { Grant-CsUserPolicyPackage -PackageName Education_Teacher -Identity $_.UserPrincipalName} Nothing fancy but hope it helps others.

Can only add 20 users at a time to a PolicyPackage using the web interface - which will take ages........ So I thought Powershell should be able to do this...... but I am failing! When I try the command New-CsBatchPolicyPackageAssignmentOperation -PackageName Education_Teacher -Identity $name I get an error - New-CsBatchPolicyPackageAssignmentOperation : Not authorized. How have people assigned PolicyPackages to staff and students? Cheers

At certain times of the day (break and lunch) we automatically release the Mag-lock on our external doors to our AstroTurf and outdoor seating areas to allow students free access in and out of the building. I have been asked if there is a quick and easy way to over-ride the timezone settings so all door are locked and to override access levels to prevent people from re-entering the building using their ID Badges (only involves 6th Form Students and Staff) Alternatively, can people let me know how they go about managing Net2 during a lockdown. Cheers

I've been asked to burn a play onto DVD but it is larger than 4.7GB Will the Dual Layer DVDs 8.4Gb discs play on normal DVD players? Cheers

I have a couple of VMs running 2012r2 Domain Controllers and looking to swap them to 2019 Was planning on spinning up new 2019 VMs and installing roles etc and then transferring FMSO roles, etc Thinking of reusing IP address and possibly the hostname - is this still a big no no or have things changed? So what is considered best practice when doing these kind of changes? Cheers

I have the EdgeMax versions of the Unfi Switches and use SSH to configure them using network parms 10.16.1.30 255.255.255.0 10.16.1.254 so not sure if the same will work for the other version of switches.

Thank you - will email them now and ask them to add the extra items :-)

Do you have more than 1 teacher assigned to a class? and does it include them in the group? Cheers

I could email salamander and ask them but thought I would ask on here first. Our staff would like to create additional email groups for teachers in a particular year group. - So any member of staff who teachers a Year 9 class are included in the Teacher in Year 9 email group etc...... I know Salamander should be able to do this but - how does it cope with multiple staff assigned to a class? When I have tried to run a SIMS report to find teachers who teach year 9 classes, SIMS only lists the main class teacher and not the secondary member of staff assigned. Anyone else who uses Salamander do this sort of thing? Cheers
